Terence Davies' ode to his native Liverpool showcases his rare sensitivity for the telling image, the haunting melody and the spoken word as he combines his own witty, literate narration with archive film and an inspired soundtrack to reflect on the city of his birth.

Terence Davies's lyrical hymn to childhood revisits the same territory as his award-winning Distant Voices, Still Lives, this time focusing on his own memories of growing up in a working-class Catholic family in Liverpool.

Thirty years after its initial release, one of the most acclaimed films in British cinema history returns to the big screen in a new digital restoration.

Over the course of three short films, we witness the emergence of Davies' singular talent and style, the refinement of his technique, and a director growing in confidence, soon to become feted as British cinema's greatest film poet.
